  1. Remember the old saying: There's none so queer as folk!!
  2. I don't think much of it today! LOL
  3. I agree that a socket tester should be a vital part of a gigging musicians equipment. Before I left the UK I saw many instances of dangerous practices. One I'll never forget was a 13A plug with about fifty feet of doorbell wire connecting to a VOX AC30. I was terrified for the player!
  4. In my mind the biggie here is to be certain that there is no possibility of a short between the conductors. That would not bode well for the health of a solid state amplifier.
  5. Just remembering my JBL days. A pair of 1x15 cabinets each housing a K145. These were topped off by four TL style cabinets each housing a K120. The rig was incredible and sounded even better. Load in and out was very tiring though!
  6. In those days it was!! LOL
  7. I thought it couldn't be as simple as patting your amp and saying 'There's a good amplifier!' LOL
  8. What's the old saying? Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
  9. Twice as many speakers in the 4x10! Simple. The rotational position of the volume control has no real relavaance to the output the amplifier is producing.
  10. Maybe I'm a bit slow today but what is a PAT test?
  11. I'd more interested if the unit could handle a 2 ohm load. In this day and age I would have thought that an Amp Designer would consider that.
  12. You have the attention of the gentleman who designed your D-800!
  13. Why would it be? The crossover should have two wires coming from it that connect to the woofers. They should be the same colours as the wiring between the woofers. If this is so in your case connecting these wires to the same colours on a woofer should bring the tweeter back on line.
  14. Playing the instrument that we do we have to constantly fight against the laws of Physics. it sucks but that's the way it is!
  15. My mind says that even though you burned the woofers the tweeter should have been protected by the crossover.
  16. Not trying to Rain on anyones parade but a 1x15 is really a poor match for a 4x10 no matter how often you see it. You'd be better off stacking the 15 on top of the 4x10. That way you can hear it's cries of pain as it fails to keep up with the 4x10.
  17. When you are purchasing anything it really does pay to shop around!
  18. Indeed I have but thought the whole movie was silly and in bad taste! I certainly have no interest in seeing it again! LOL
  19. That's what the DI is for.
  20. Why not just add a bright box to your existing system. It would cost far less than a new speaker system.
  21. Well bill I'll be eighty in January! I still can remember my "horny" times! LOL I just don't see the need for such to advertise a bass amp. Besides which the amp I use is capable of 2000W. LOL to
  22. Depending on the sensitivity and frequency response of the added cabinet it possibly could be a downgrade!!
  23. Why do adverts such as the one above have to use crudity. It certainly put me off from interest in SWR products and I'm sure there must be more of us of the same mind. 🤯
  24. You know if I had to carry all that stuff around from gig to gig I think I'd retire1! Best of luck.
  25. If you are going to pick up an extension cabinet you would be better off buying a 4Ω box for the sake of power distribution. You may very well discover that the new 8Ω box adds very little to your overall sound.
